Let's talk about your utility's technology roadmap.
Chase Barnett
Founder | Principal Consultant
I've spent nearly two decades serving in utility operations and enterprise IT. Working directly with the people doing the work has shaped how I design solutions for them.
My foundation is rooted in information technology, but my career led me into operations—bringing a systems-engineering mindset to real-world grid management.
I've drafted jobs in line design engineering, performed GIS field collections and audits, modeled distribution networks, managed 24/7 outage management operations, deployed mobile workforce programs, and supported servers and applications. Today, I design purpose-built solutions based on my operational experience.
My career path has given me a unique perspective on the challenges utilities face and the experience to bridge IT/OT with operational reality. As utilities confront unprecedented grid modernization demands, I bring the dual fluency needed to solve these complex challenges.
